Friends of Bob and Donna Akridge are requesting approval from the Park, Recreation and Senior Advisory Board to place a memorial bench in Donna’s memory along the River Walk Trail section to-be constructed this spring. In January 2014 Donna Lee Katherine Akridge was taken in a tragic car accident. Bob has been an inspector with Puyallup Public Works Engineering for many years. His work family is presenting this request, and will be donating the bench for the trail. The bench will be installed by volunteer efforts of donated time and materials from the trail contractor, who has offered to support this effort. The bench will mirror similar memorial benches placed in the City, with a plaque attached with Donna’s name.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Recommend approval to place the Memorial Bench for Donna Akridge at the location designated on the attached map.
